Jennifer Aniston ‘Trusts’ Jim Curtis ‘Implicitly’ Amid Rumors He’s Using Her to Advance His Career

Rumors are swirling that Jennifer Aniston‘s friends are worried boyfriend Jim Curtis is using her to advance his career — and it’s got the actress furious, a source tells Star.

“Jen usually pays no attention to negative chatter, but this narrative about some of her friends being suspicious of Jim has not gone unnoticed by her,” says the source. “It’s very upsetting. She counts on her friends being loyal and transparent, [and] the idea that some of them could be saying one thing to her face about Jim and another behind her back is pretty disturbing.”

On Thursday, September 3 — the day after Aniston, 57, and Curtis, 50, made a joint appearance to promote his new book, The Book of Possibility, in New York City — Page Six reported that some of the Friends star’s pals “worry he could be an opportunist.”

“She is not the type to start accusing people with no evidence,” Star‘s source notes. “But of course, she will want to get to the bottom of this and anyone that turns out to be anti-Jim is going to be booted immediately from her circle.”

As Star previously reported, Aniston is a lot more secure with Curtis than she was with her previous partners, and their year-long relationship is one built on mutual respect.

“She adores Jim and says she knows him and trusts him implicitly,” reveals the source, adding that The Morning Show star isn’t “going to risk anyone hurting” the transformational coach.

“It’s bound to be upsetting for Jim to hear this sort of thing and be put in the position of wondering who could be saying these things,” the source adds, “so of course she wants to clear this up as quickly as possible.”
